Dear Ms. Sawyer,
Thank you for posting your requests on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 26 series in the Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (Record Group 75) regarding the Choctaw removals during the 1830s which may include records regarding Ezekiel Robuck/Roebuck. For more information about these records, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) at archives1reference@nara.gov.
You may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgment as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience as we balance mission-critical work and the safety of our staff during the pandemic. Please check NARA’s web page about COVID-19 updates for the latest information.
In addition we suggest that, if you have not already done so, you contact the Mississippi Department of Archives and History regarding their microfilm collections and indexes to county records and State Census Returns that may provide further information regarding Ezekiel Robuck/Roebuck and his life in Mississippi. We also suggest that you consult the Indian Pioneer Papers Collection at the University of Oklahoma University Libraries which includes an Interview with Josephine Usray Lattimer describing an Ezekiel Robuck that may be useful to your research if you have not already reviewed it.
Please see our responses to your posts “” and “” for links to additional resources that may be useful in your research regarding Ezekiel Robuck.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
